My laptop has only started in safe mode for the past few months and now it has just completely quit starting up altogether. When I ran diagnostics as specified by another user on here, I got this:

Error code 2000-0151 

Validation 13712

Msg: Hard Drive 0 - S/N WD-WXA1A21J3959, incorrect status = 3E

No additional sense information

What does this mean?

Suddenly images will not show on Facebook pages, but work on any other website.  Performed a complete OS reinstall from the days when the images appeared, but STILL they don't display.  I have to guess a video driver problem unique to Facebook?

Machine hesitation

Kind of an odd problem, but I have never experienced it before.  Everything is working fine and then briefly stops.  Music playing stops. mouse cursor movement stops, keyboard stops working, but monitor and computer continue to run. Delay/hickup/hesitation is only for a fraction of a second, but is really irritating. Happens about once a minute or two.  I have tried playing music off Pandora, Spotify, and my hard drive and same result. Thought it might have something to do with recent software update from Western Digital so disconnected my backup drive with no improvements.

Anyone have any ideas????

latitude E4300 memory extension

$

0

Windows7 is too slow on my latitude E4300 and expanding its main memory failed to work, even after optimizing all win7 applications.

Internet search mentions about upgrading BIOS and the DELL Web page is inconsistent because highest BIOS revision E4300A26.exe has older than than obsolete E4300A23.exe. None of them work to expand memory and it is strange that DELL hasn´t fixed this known inconsistency for years.


DELL user manual mentions support for DDR3 1066MHz memories but so slow memories don´t exist anymore in the market. Other users mention that DELL had to give individual codes to allow extended memory.
It is a pity that such an professional laptop fails to support standard DDR3. When the DDR3 standard was defined, memory timing should become irrelevant of the memory speed because the actual speed is defined by the host, as long as the DDR3 nominal frequency is faster than the minimum supported frequency by the host.
The new SO-DIMM are not broken, they work fine on other non-DELL laptops.
Adding memory to other DELL computers is very easy thanks to the DDR3 technology, except for this laptop.

Has anybody any hint what could be done to make memory expansion on a latitude E4300 to work?
I tried both BIOS versions but laptop fails to boot when a fast 4GB DRAMs is on any of the 2 memory slots, no matter which combination of 4GB/1GB memory is done.

Studio 1558 not getting power

I'm working on a Studio 1558 that was not charging.  I first installed a new power port inside the laptop.  When I connected the AC adapter to the new port, the light on the port would briefly come on then go off again.  At no point could I make it stay on continuously.  I also tried this with the old port, and got the same thing.  (Obviously, this is not a port issue.)

The specs on this genuine Dell adapter are 65W 19.5V 3.34A.  When I searched on the Dell site for a new adapter for this model laptop, the specs were supposed to be 90W 19.5V 4.52A.  

I ordered this new adapter but unfortunately, when I plug it in, the light on the power port does the exact same thing.  It flashes on very briefly.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is with this machine?
Thank you.

Hi.


I recently reformatted my  xps 17 (l701x)

I did my driver updates and for some reason when I deactivate my touch pad it is still active.

The light does show its shut down, However it is not.

I looked in the windows mobility center, Where I know there is an option to turn it off.

This option is not in there.

I have installed older drivers for my touch pad and the latest one and it still wont shut off.

Can someone please help?

Thanks for your time.

Hard Disk Clone and windows key

My Dell Inspiron N4050 hard disk is making clicking sounds some times, but laptop is till working fine. It also does not find boot device( hard disk) at the system startup. It seems my hard disk is soon going to die. Can someone help to answer following questions?

1) Can I clone my current hard disk to a new hard disk so that new hard disk is 100% copy of new hard disk including system restore partition which contains OS image copy.

2) My windows 7 product key mentioned on the lap top sticker is a little tempered and now 100% readable. I used a couple of utilities to retrieve the product key, but, retrieved product key is different than what I see on the lap top sticker. Why is it like that? I had my laptop repaired when it was on warranty when its motherboard was replaced, but hard disk is same. So I dont understand by windows product key on the sticker is different than retrieved by different utilities.?

APSDaemon.exe issue

How do I fix an 'APSDaemon.exe - Unable to Locate Component' issue.

Has anyone come across this error before?   

My laptop freezes 2 seconds every one minute

Hello,

I've been having a problem with my laptop since 2 or 3 weeks.

It keeps freezing for 2 seconds every one minute, I've checked the performance usage window in the task manager and noticed that the cpu usage raise up to 30% when it freezes. I've checked also the process window, a service called "windows search indexer" comes up first in the higher usage process list, so I disabled it but the problem was not solved.

I would be really disappointed if its an hardware issue because I just spent almost £ 500 to get it fixed.

My system:

Dell XPS 15 L5X02

Intel core I7

8g Ram

Nvidia GT 540M

Windows 8

Thanks
